Bed system is related to the concept of the "Infrastructure Village". The Infrastructure Village is a series of drawings and installations describing in a crude way the condition of living "in the infrastructure". Τhe installation includes 4 suspended ceilings with semi transparent curtains; each curtain room contains a setting of different experiences adjustable for every show; the performative aspect of the installation makes it similar to an installed time structure for visiting the curtains. The bed system remains always a description of a city under transformation, where its functions become separate and semi visible in the same time. The bed as a system of retreat, shows a possibility to withdraw in seclusion in a day dreaming performance; this condition is observed as a most characteristic condition of the nowadays culture.
